The Future You facial will use multiple techniques throughout the facial depending on what shift in the tissues we need to create.

These modalities use elements of Osteopathy, Craniosacral, Deep Tissue as well as Lymphatic draining philosophies that help restore the natural posture of the face.

Topically, each skin is beautifully different in its needs and each session includes a double cleanse with gentle enzyme exfoliation, signature hydration mist as well as a variety of phyto-nutrient infusions and custom blended masks to safely and effectively reset your skin surface.

True Lymph Treatment

detox | de-stress | restore flow

Supports lymphatic movement and releases built-up tension to restore natural flow and harmony.

While suitable for every person and skin type (or if you just need to de stress and have the best facial nap ever), our true lymph treatment is highly recommended for anyone who suffers from puffiness, acne, congestion, blackheads, rosacea, eczema, and other skin conditions to help nourish the skin cells within to repair and heal.

When treating the skin from within, the healing results are dramatic. This facial experience begins with warming up the tissues with a soothing massage and warm stone cleanse. Prepping the skin in this manner allows for one of the most profound holistic techniques, Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage, to work even more efficiently.

Lymphatic fluid is our bodies way of removing the extra cellular waste that accumulates every day. Inflammation, muscle tension and connective tissue densification can all result in constricted flow of lymphatic fluid. This impedes the timely delivery of nutrients and fresh oxygen to our skin cells.

There is a lot of misinformation in the industry around lymphatic drainage facials, and sadly most providers are not educated enough to know that things like facial massage, cupping and gua sha all do in fact move lymph, but they also add fluid to the tissues at the same time. So true drainage can only happen when the tissues are worked in conjunction with the way our lymph vessels is designed, as in MLD. Moving lymph can help release some fluids from the tissues, but only MLD can increase the amount of fluid removed by up to 4-10x the normal amount!

MLD is a profound method which works in conjunction with the nervous and immune systems, quieting the sympathetic so that the parasympathetic can switch on to repair + heal. This method also eradicates cellular inflammation instantly and cumulatively in the following days. This treatment will have your skin nourished, calmed, and revived as well as clearing in the following days.

Products will not be applied to the skin initially for the treatment as lymphatic work is such a light touch modality, clean dry skin is required for a good connection to the tissue. Finishing products include Signature Hydration Mist, whole plant hydrosols, serums, balm and SPF.

* Please note the Contraindications
- not safe for pregnancy
- must wait a minimum of 6 weeks after any injections
-not suggested for those with acute inflammation

*GST will be due at time of service

Future You Facial Massage

nourish | lift | glow

Gentle, flowing massage to enhance glow, nourish the skin, and promote subtle sculpting.

Facial massage benefits the skin in a myriad of ways. The act of manipulating and massaging the skin means increased blood flow to the area. More blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients to the skin which helps to kick start your fibroblasts to produce more collagen. Massaging the facial skin helps to relax the muscles that cause stress lines while lifting and toning them at the same time. Improved lymphatic drainage reduces puffiness which gives a healthy “lit from within” glow to the complexion.

In traditional "express" services the first thing to go is the face massage even though it does the skin the greatest benefit. Not here. This treatment begins with a luxurious hot stone cleanse followed by our Signature Hydration Mist to deeply bathe the skin tissues in vital hydration. Advanced facial massage techniques will work to refresh and reset the natural posture of your face. Finishing touches of hydrosols, serum, balm and SPF are applied to nourish your skin with the most bio-available, phyto-nutrient and antioxidant rich skin care there is.

An ideal service anytime of the year but especially helpful to ease seasonal skin transitions. Or for those who simply need a skin savasana amongst the bustle of everyday life to relax and restore a natural glow.

Laurel Fascia Facial

nourish | lift | glow

Fascia-focused ritual working with connective tissue to lift and restore facial integrity.

Fascia is the future of esthetics.

Connective Tissue, otherwise known as fascia, is our internal webbing connected to all muscles, joints, and bones, allowing movement within the body as well as harnessing all internal organs. The connective tissue is what holds us together.

This facial provides a complete cellular rejuvenation since the connective tissue, and the nervous system are connected. The cells go into a parasympathetic state for deep repair. The nervous system is the first system to develop in utero following the connective tissue developing next, therefore, we are passionately touching ones innermost being, the core, our uniquly designed Matrix of the body. When this "life source" is stretched, it releases a jelly-like hydrational substance enabling movement. Where there is movement, there must be water, and where there is water, there is life! Both hydration and movement together are the keys to skin longevity.

The health and release of the fascia not only provides a holistic face lift but also plays a role in keeping the facial fat healthy. Healthy andipocytes are active participants in cellular communication, namely with our fibroblasts and provide another key element in collagen renewal. These techniques activate movement and energy within your skin and deeper tissues, while working to awaken and strengthen your circulation to create immediate lifting, brightening, and hydrated plumpness.

Laurel Whole Plant Organics products are the perfect accompaniment to this unique facial. LWPO products are always in support of the skin, never forcing or manipulating cellular function. This focus of support will always reduce inflammation, reduce stagnation to provide a wholly refreshed lit from within glow.

Products will not be applied to the skin for the fascia portion of the treatment as clean, dry skin is required for a good connection to the tissue that is crucial for fascia work. A beautiful oil cleanse starts this facial off followed by a gentle supportive exfoliation via enzymatic honey tapping. An appropriate for your skin type whole plant mask will be chosen and applied before the fascial work starts. Finishing products include Signature Hydration Mist, whole plant hydrosols, serums, balm and SPF.

Better Buccal

TMJ | relief | restore

Intraoral release to support TMJ relief and deep tension unwinding in the face and jaw.

There can be many reasons for challenges to arise with jaw tension. Ever mounting stress in our modern day life, stuck emotions, tight hips, tongue posture and even slouchy body posture can all contribute to tightness in this area.

Show me what you Love was the first studio in Calgary to introduce buccal massage into facials 5 years ago. Thousands of clients later coupled with continuous education with the industries top intra-oral educators has resulted in this very effective and distinct approach to the release of jaw tension.

Our unique approach incorporates creating space in all the layers of restriction that develops in this area including muscles, fascia and lymphatic stagnation. Tension is reduced not only in the masseter but in all of the muscles within the mouth, which provides a longer lasting relief from jaw pain. Working to release fascial adhesions in this area is the true star of this treatment as it will create space in the tissues and reduce lymphatic stagnation that usually results in uncomfortable pressure in the area.

The benefits are numerous and profound on many levels and provides a truly holistic and comprehensive approach to healing your jaw pain.

Our Better Buccal treatment begins with a nourishing warm stone oil cleanse followed by an herbal hot towel for removal. Products may or may not be applied to the skin initially for the treatment as fascia work requires clean dry skin for a strong connection to the tissues. Finishing products include Signature Hydration Mist, whole plant hydrosols, serums, balm and SPF.
